Vigna
Vigna unguiculata

My grandfather's neighbor gave him these seeds around 1940 or so. Our family saves these seeds every year. I haven't seen them anywhere else. They produce a pea that is larger than a purple hull and they are essentially idiot proof. I think you could grow these peas in the cracks of an
asphalt road. When they are older, they sometimes are attacked by shield/stink bugs, but by then you will be sick of picking them. They will bear till frost and they really get cranked up in the hottest part of the summer. I would love to share them with someone.
